> [@](#): > > In preparation for next year’s ‘X-Files’ return, the Fox network has announced plans to air all of the show’s 201 episodes, newly re-mastered in high definition dropping one per night, in order, until the premiere of the new episodes on January 24th 2016. But in even more exciting news for long-term fans, the network has released a promotional teaser which reveals the first footage from the rebooted series. [Link](http://www.tweaktown.com/news/46355/files-return-teased-new-fox-promo/index.html) I’m excited . There are a coupe of episodes I’ve only seen once. Including the season 2 episode called “Soft Light”, which guest-starred Tony Shaloub. The link above also shows the first preview of the new episodes. I wonder how FOX will deal with “Home”. They said they would never rebroadcast that episode. ---

I know not everyone has Netflix, but why not just get Netflix and binge the whole series on your schedule? ---

Netflix isn’t a viable option if you only have dial-up ---

They’re not airing them on the actual Fox network, so where is this one a day thing actually happening? ---

> [@Honey](#): > > I wonder how FOX will deal with “Home”. They said they would never rebroadcast that episode. Hah! So, I was curious about this so I did some research. I live about twenty minutes from Home, PA! It’s actually an interesting town near Smicksburg, an Amish enclave. I know a woman whose husband was held at the Canadian border because he was from Home. He is a trucker and was returning from a long trip totally exhausted. When asked at the border where he was headed, he replied, “Home”. Things went downhill from there. So I’m going to watch the episode on Netflix tonight. Cool!! ---
